Functional Reynolds Stress Modeling - Hardcover

Moore, Joan G.

 
9780926487215: Functional Reynolds Stress Modeling

Synopsis

Presents contributions to the understanding of turbulence centered around the development and application of a family of Reynolds stress models for incompressible rotating flows. A goal of this work is the development of practical models of the Reynolds stress equations which may be implemented in CFD codes, for example as used in the aerospace industry. Reynolds stress models offer the advantage of naturally including the effects of rotation, curvature and developing flow on the turbulence. This book contains the detail of a research monograph, and also the background, derivations, and related topics. CD included with data analysis, derivation of equations, and color figures.

About the Author

Joan G. Moore has a degree in applied mathematics from MIT. She has developed and written CFD codes for three-dimensional flow in turbomachinery applications in the aerospace industry that included the necessary adaptation of turbulence models so that the codes could be used for performance evaluation. John Moore is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech. He received the ASME Gas Turbine Power Award in 1973, and is a Life Fellow of ASME, a senior member of AIAA, and a member of IMechE. He holds degrees from Imperial College, London University, and MIT.
